Pinehurst No. 2 proved formidable as Viktor Hovland, Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, and others exited the tournament. Meanwhile, Ludvig Aberg tops the leaderboard with a total score of 135, 5-under par, following three birdies and two bogeys in the second round. Surprisingly, the #1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler, is struggling and is currently at T57 after barely making the cut.
Interestingly, Bryson DeChambeau is currently tied for second place and also finished in the same position at the PGA Championship. The battle continues as the third round of the US Open is about to begin.

Who can win the 2024 US Open?
It’s clear that if Ludvig Aberg maintains his lead, he will secure his first major title. Close behind him is Bryson DeChambeau, who showed a strong performance at the PGA Championship and narrowly missed the title. After the tournament, he posted on Instagram with the caption “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” He also congratulated Schauffele and expressed his focus on Pinehurst.

Considering this, it’s reasonable to expect that DeChambeau might push harder to fulfill his promise and vie for the title. Rory McIlroy, on the other hand, hasn’t won a major in over a decade, but his recent victory at the Wells Fargo Championship shows he’s still in top form and capable of turning the tide. Who do you think will hoist the silver trophy this week?
